Ingredients:

  • 1 (48 oz) can sweet potatoes
  • 1 (16 oz) can sweet potatoes

  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch

Directions:

  1. Put apricots in a medium pot, and just cover fruit with water.

  3. Lower temperature on apricots, cover, and simmer for a half hour.
  4. Remove from heat and separate liquid and fruit. Make sure to save the liquid.

  10. In a saucepan, combine well the rest of the dry ingredients (brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch).
  11. Add orange peel, butter, pineapple juice and 1 cup of apricot juice. (If there isn’t enough apricot juice, add water to get to 1 cup).
